Baby Boom

My friend-set has been experiencing a baby-boom right now.  I think there are over 15 little ones being born in just about a 12 month period.  This is reminding me of a baby shower game I made for a friend in grad school.  I thought it might be fun to bring it back.  Below find a number of details from well-known paintings.  Can you identify what the full painting is from just the baby?  How many will you get?  Answers at the end.
